Whats with this logistics excuse? Mumford and Co have apparently used the same excuse to cancel at short notice... never heard it being used before..

Its something to do with string nodes..

Do Quorn make strings? I sympathise with your dilema but you know the adage that there is no substitute for gut.

Thanks Bassassin... all my questions answered. I used to have one of the old Fakers, a Shatsbury think.. I couldnt get on with the design of the thing so took up playing upright bass which is much more manageable..

But thats my point. Who ever was in charge back then didnt do a good job of stopping them , so it is harder to bring a case of intellectual property etc in later years because it can be said you didnt guard against it at the start- therefore you cant be that bothered about it. Have they actually taken anyone to court?

So why werent they so pro active back in the 70s when the Fakers began to appear..if they had been there wouldnt be the number of fakes there are in circulation.. we have similar situation with some products at work that have been copied but because we didnt clamp down on it straight from the offset we dont have a leg to stand on years down the line.

Gumtree arent frightened of the corporate entity...

Is this the 'Bird" they speak of in jazz?

I wanted to form a mariachi band doing only Beatles songs. It wouldve been called John Paul George & Gringo..

The original drummer! Elvis's drummer in the 50s is the latest rnr casualty. He really did draw up the blueprint for modern drummers, a legend.

Get 2 layers of foam that are half thickness and cut right through one then put it on top of the uncut one...

With all this knowledge I feel like I know even less ...ignorance is bliss etc. Thanks evreyone for your comments

Thanks guys... it would be my YOB bass, thats whats tempting me, but I havent seen it up close yet....

What would the value of a 62 Precision bass be ? It may have had an early refinish, apart from that its all original. Im tempted by one which seems a good price to me but Im no expert..

The obvious ones! Thanks for confirming it.

Just out of interest Jack..which model Magnum ?

While JBG was in daipers there was a character lurking in music from the crossroads called Stag O lee or Stagger Lee or Stack O Lee , all one and the same person..I get the impression he was a bad type probably with some affiliation to the devil. His name crops up in rural blues, early country music , rockabilly etc. I dont think he ever got in the pop charts like Johnny did.

Its changed a bit thanks to Lottery funding..but it is still going strong..

Im hoping to figure out what strings I have on my bass guitar... All the silks are red at the headstock end. The bridge end has painted ferules.. E-red, A-blue, D-white, G-red (again)... Theyre a fairly light gauge set... Thanks Chatters.

Then get some from here, they actually do work https://www.f-itsfeedbackblockers.co.uk/

Through my hayfever eyes I read the title of this thread as ' compassion , whats all the fuss about'...my heart sank for a moment.
